The EPMD emcee says he’s trying to teach the next generation about longevity.
“There’s nothing here that can stop me,” Sermon says of people that discount him because of his age. “I got no disrespect, but when it comes down to what this culture is, I don’t see nobody in the way that can stop me from doing this.” His longevity is more than just making and cranking out new music. The New York rapper said that he tries to school young artists about the game, telling them that they should worry less about hitting the studio to roll out new hits on a conveyer belt, and rather be concerned with creating a sound that is unique to them while learning production styles. Making music just for today’s culture doesn’t create timeless hits.
